Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical instruction with a stress on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle concerns ranging from commonplace disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
