Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant healthcare instruction with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems ranging from usual problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
