Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address issues ranging from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet usually encounter.
