Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage problems extending from common problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
