Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage difficulties stretching from basic conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet usually experience.
