Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems varying from standard problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
