Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns varying from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
