Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical education with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for issues stretching from common disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
