Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare education with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with problems ranging from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet normally experience.
