Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems extending from normal ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
