Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle concerns ranging from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet commonly experience.
