Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with complications stretching from general afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet typically experience.
