Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant health care training with an attention to on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for issues stretching from basic conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
