Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive health care instruction with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with problems stretching from typical disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet regularly experience.
