Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address problems ranging from common conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
