Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough medical education with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat issues ranging from regular conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
