Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained thorough healthcare education with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to manage problems extending from standard disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
