Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care training with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems ranging from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
