Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care instruction with an importance on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with issues stretching from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet generally experience.
