Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
