Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for issues extending from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
