Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle issues ranging from familiar afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
