Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable health care training with a stress on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to treat difficulties ranging from normal disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
