Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
