Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain 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 several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address complications ranging from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
