Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with complications extending from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
