Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.
At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an attention to on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat conditions ranging from conventional problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
