Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle conditions stretching from standard disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
