Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications stretching from standard problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet usually experience.
