Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical training with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to handle problems ranging from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet commonly experience.
