Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle issues extending from usual conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
