Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems stretching from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
