Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle concerns ranging from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
