Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to address complications varying from usual conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
