Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to handle complications ranging from standard conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet routinely experience.
