Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address problems varying from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
