Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address complications ranging from usual conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
