Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care training with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems varying from conventional problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet normally experience.
