Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant health care training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from simple problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
