Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with concerns ranging from typical conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
