Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant medical instruction with an importance on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for problems extending from regular conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
