Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with issues ranging from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet generally experience.
