Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical education with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with conditions extending from typical disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
