Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained substantial health care training with an importance on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat problems extending from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
