Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging health care education with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat complications ranging from typical conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
