Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant healthcare training with a concentration on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with difficulties ranging from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
