Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from typical problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
