Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from common disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
