Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to care for concerns varying from regular afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
