Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging health care instruction with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle difficulties varying from general conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
