Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage conditions ranging from conventional conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
