Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage issues stretching from commonplace afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet usually encounter.
