Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for problems extending from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.
Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
