Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with difficulties stretching from normal disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
