Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial health care training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems ranging from familiar conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
