Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties extending from familiar afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
