Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat issues ranging from simple afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
