Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable health care training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat problems stretching from basic problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet generally experience.
