Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle problems ranging from simple ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet generally experience.
