Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to deal with concerns stretching from normal afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
