Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive healthcare education with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address issues stretching from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet typically encounter.
