Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat conditions varying from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
