Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care education with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat difficulties ranging from standard disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet generally encounter.
