Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from general afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
