Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with problems varying from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
