Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical education with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions stretching from basic ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet generally experience.
