Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with problems stretching from familiar disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example 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 surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
