Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat difficulties extending from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
