Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage conditions stretching from common disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
