Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from typical conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet typically experience.
