Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained considerable healthcare instruction with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications extending from usual conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet regularly experience.
