Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with difficulties ranging from simple afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet frequently experience.
