Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from regular afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
