Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage conditions stretching from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally experience.
