Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address complications ranging from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
