Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing health care training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage conditions ranging from common afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise essential to conduct surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
