Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address issues ranging from standard problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
