Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare education with a main focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for problems extending from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
