Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained substantial medical training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat complications varying from basic afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet regularly experience.
