Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle issues extending from basic problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
