Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough medical instruction with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with conditions extending from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet routinely experience.
