Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable medical instruction with a focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions ranging from normal disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
