Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle problems varying from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
