Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address problems stretching from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet normally experience.
