Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle complications extending from usual afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
