Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical 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 resembles traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for difficulties ranging from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
