Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care education with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat complications varying from basic conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet normally encounter.
