Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with complications stretching from usual ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
