Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage difficulties stretching from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet routinely experience.
