Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address problems ranging from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet routinely encounter.
