Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to handle complications extending from regular afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet typically experience.
