Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with problems varying from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
