Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant health care training with a main focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address difficulties stretching from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet normally encounter.
