Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from general problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
