Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical training with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle complications stretching from common disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
