Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems ranging from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally encounter.
