Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions varying from standard problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
