Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive medical training with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems varying from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the skill vital to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
