Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle problems ranging from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the skill needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet usually experience.
