Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical instruction with a concentration on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address conditions ranging from standard problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
