Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to address difficulties ranging from basic disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet normally encounter.
