Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns varying from basic afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
