Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing medical education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle concerns stretching from conventional ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
