Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for problems extending from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
