Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage difficulties ranging from simple conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
