Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical education with a stress on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with difficulties varying from regular problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet generally experience.
