Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties varying from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet usually experience.
