Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive healthcare instruction with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for concerns extending from familiar disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet normally encounter.
