Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle conditions stretching from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the practical experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
