Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare training with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle concerns varying from common problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
