Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage complications extending from familiar conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
