Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage problems varying from standard afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the expertise needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
