Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire 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 a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat concerns ranging from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
