Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat concerns ranging from usual problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
