Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive healthcare education with an importance on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to address problems varying from conventional problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
