Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle difficulties extending from general conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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 peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
