Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care instruction with a stress on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage conditions ranging from general problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet regularly experience.
