Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care training with a concentration on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for issues extending from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
