Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with difficulties ranging from common conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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 problems permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
