Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical instruction with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle conditions ranging from general conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet routinely experience.
