Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with a focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues ranging from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
