Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a concentration on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues extending from conventional afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet normally experience.
