Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough health care instruction with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties extending from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
