Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage problems stretching from normal disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet frequently encounter.
