Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions ranging from common afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
