Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat complications stretching from typical problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
