Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems extending from simple ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally 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 perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
