Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with conditions varying from standard problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
