Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from typical conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
