Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable healthcare instruction with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat complications varying from general afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
