Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare education with a concentration on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties varying from basic ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet commonly experience.
