Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from familiar conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
