Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial medical training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for conditions stretching from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
