Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 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 have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from standard disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet typically encounter.
