Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with issues ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
