Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to address problems ranging from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
