Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to address concerns stretching from common conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
