Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical education with a focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues ranging from usual problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
