Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough medical education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat conditions ranging from usual afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet normally experience.
