Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet normally encounter.
