Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle conditions ranging from familiar conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
