Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable healthcare education with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage complications ranging from commonplace problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
