Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare education with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle complications varying from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
