Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical training with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage conditions ranging from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
