Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare training with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage concerns stretching from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
