Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial healthcare instruction with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage conditions extending from basic disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet generally experience.
