Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical education with a focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage conditions extending from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet routinely experience.
