Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care instruction with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat concerns ranging from common conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet frequently experience.
