Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing healthcare training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle complications extending from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
