Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive healthcare training with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle conditions ranging from normal ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
