Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for complications stretching from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the experience required to conduct surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet normally experience.
