Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from simple disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet regularly experience.
