Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with problems extending from normal disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
