Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon attaining 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 residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare training with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems stretching from commonplace ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet usually experience.
