Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for problems varying from standard problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
