Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial medical instruction with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems varying from common problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
