Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems varying from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, 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 give them the practical experience required to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
