Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat concerns ranging from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
