Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical training with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with problems stretching from basic disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
