Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care education with an importance on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat difficulties ranging from basic conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
