Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues extending from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally encounter.
