Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems varying from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
