Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat difficulties extending from common disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
