Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to address problems stretching from general disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the expertise essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
