Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from typical disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
