Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.
At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical training with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for issues ranging from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet regularly experience.
