Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with a concentration on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat problems stretching from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet frequently experience.
