Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive health care instruction with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle concerns ranging from simple ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
