Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems extending from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
