Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough healthcare training with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for complications varying from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore 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 carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
