Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough medical education with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems extending from normal disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
