Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle concerns extending from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
