Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems stretching from familiar disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet generally encounter.
