Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care education with a focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with concerns ranging from typical afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally experience.
