Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from usual afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
