Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare training with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle issues stretching from conventional disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet commonly experience.
