Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and various podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with problems extending from general problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet usually experience.
