Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial medical instruction with a stress on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with issues ranging from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
