Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
