Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with an attention to on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat issues varying from usual disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet normally experience.
