Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant health care training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with problems ranging from conventional ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also 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 perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
