Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and a number of podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with issues stretching from standard disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical 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 irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
