Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage issues ranging from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet routinely experience.
