Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address complications stretching from conventional ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
