Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.
At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial health care training with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat concerns stretching from common conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise essential to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet regularly experience.
