Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle conditions ranging from simple afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
