Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical instruction with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues ranging from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
