Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical education with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat issues varying from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet frequently encounter.
