Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical education with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with concerns varying from standard problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet generally experience.
