Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care instruction with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for conditions stretching from simple afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
