Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with an attention to on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with conditions ranging from normal afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
