Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable medical training with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat conditions ranging from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet usually encounter.
