Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a concentration on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet normally encounter.
