Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained substantial medical education with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle problems ranging from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet typically experience.
