Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat conditions ranging from commonplace disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet normally experience.
