Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors 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 attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with an attention to on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from familiar afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet regularly experience.
