Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough healthcare instruction with a stress on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with difficulties ranging from standard afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
