Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to address complications varying from basic afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
