Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 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 obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough healthcare education with a stress on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for issues varying from commonplace afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet generally experience.
