Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough health care training with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for concerns ranging from simple disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
