Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle problems stretching from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
