Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable healthcare training with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage conditions varying from familiar conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet typically experience.
