Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage complications ranging from usual problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors likewise 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet normally experience.
