Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage concerns stretching from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
