Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable healthcare training with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage problems varying from typical problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
