Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to handle issues ranging from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
