Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat complications stretching from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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 carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet commonly experience.
