Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems varying from common disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
