Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems extending from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet commonly experience.
