Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems ranging from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
