Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable medical training with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally 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 carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
