Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad 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 conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical instruction with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from typical conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
