Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get 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 as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address difficulties extending from common conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
