Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare education with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat conditions stretching from usual ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
