Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical instruction with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat problems ranging from simple afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the skill required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet usually experience.
