Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher 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 conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a concentration on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems stretching from conventional disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
