Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with a concentration on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to manage conditions extending from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
