Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial health care education with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address problems ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
