Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical education with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat problems ranging from regular problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
