Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial healthcare education with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns ranging from conventional conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors also have an extensive 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
