Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting 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 post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle problems varying from normal problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
