Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications stretching from general afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
