Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address difficulties ranging from common afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely experience.
