Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to address problems extending from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
