Specialists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and many podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with difficulties ranging from basic disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
