Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant medical training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with difficulties ranging from usual conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
