Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to address issues extending from normal disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet typically experience.
