Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable healthcare education with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage complications stretching from familiar afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet frequently encounter.
