Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with a main focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems stretching from simple ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet regularly experience.
