Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to handle problems ranging from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
