Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage complications ranging from conventional disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
