Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat complications extending from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
