Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant healthcare instruction with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with difficulties extending from commonplace afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
