Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle difficulties extending from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
