Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to address conditions stretching from regular disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
