Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties stretching from commonplace disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet commonly experience.
