Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to care for issues ranging from normal problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
