Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from commonplace disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
