Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle complications stretching from simple problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
