Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage complications ranging from basic afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the prior experience needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
