Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable healthcare education with an attention to on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties stretching from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
