Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
