Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for difficulties ranging from simple conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet generally experience.
