Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs lie within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical instruction with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address conditions ranging from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
