Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive 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 various podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing health care training with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with issues varying from basic afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience required to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet typically encounter.
