Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care education with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from simple conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally experience.
