Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat problems extending from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill essential to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally 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 perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
