Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle problems ranging from standard disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet generally experience.
