Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage difficulties extending from standard afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
