Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle complications ranging from usual afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually encounter.
