Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive health care training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage complications extending from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise 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 abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet typically encounter.
