Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with a concentration on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage problems ranging from regular problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the skill vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet generally encounter.
