Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable medical training with a stress on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with difficulties ranging from commonplace conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
