Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage issues ranging from common conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
