Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for conditions ranging from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet generally experience.
