Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle complications stretching from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
