Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a stress on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to treat problems ranging from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
