Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant health care training with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle concerns extending from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
