Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from typical conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
