Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained significant health care training with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to manage problems extending from familiar afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
