Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle complications extending from typical conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
