Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle complications ranging from common afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
