Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care instruction with a stress on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat conditions stretching from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet frequently experience.
