Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable healthcare education with a concentration on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat issues ranging from usual ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
