Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for difficulties extending from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
