Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with complications ranging from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
