Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing medical training with a concentration on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage problems varying from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
