Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with issues varying from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
