Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired encompassing healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from familiar disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
