Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with problems extending from common ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet regularly encounter.
