Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions extending from normal problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
