Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to care for issues varying from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
