Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial healthcare training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet regularly encounter.
