Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and a number of podiatry programs lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical instruction with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address issues extending from commonplace afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
