Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat concerns stretching from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
