Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for problems varying from conventional disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet generally encounter.
