Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care education with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for complications ranging from usual afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
