Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 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 receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical education with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems extending from usual conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet normally experience.
