Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough health care instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle complications extending from familiar ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
