Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable health care instruction with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for concerns ranging from regular conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
