Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from commonplace conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
