Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle complications varying from common problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet normally experience.
