Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to address concerns extending from regular ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet commonly experience.
