Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical instruction with a main focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage difficulties varying from regular disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
