Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care education with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat difficulties stretching from simple problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
