Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After obtaining 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 Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge 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 abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet normally experience.
