Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage complications stretching from basic problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
