Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle problems ranging from normal disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the prior experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
