Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from regular problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
