Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an attention to on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to address conditions ranging from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
