Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle issues extending from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually experience.
