Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care training with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle difficulties varying from general afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet regularly experience.
