Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical training with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for concerns ranging from simple afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to carry out surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
