Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon 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 post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications extending from standard disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
