Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to address issues stretching from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet normally experience.
