Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
