Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from basic conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge 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 peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually experience.
