Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues ranging from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
