Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address issues extending from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
