Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable healthcare instruction with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage concerns ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
