Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging medical education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems stretching from general problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
