Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical education with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems stretching from general problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the skill required to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet usually encounter.
