Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat concerns extending from basic conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
