Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with difficulties ranging from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet usually experience.
