Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from regular conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
