Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage issues ranging from typical afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
