Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address complications varying from typical ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best 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 feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
