Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to address problems extending from typical problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
