Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for issues stretching from usual problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
