Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing health care instruction with an importance on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions extending from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
