Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage conditions stretching from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
