Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive healthcare education with a focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat problems ranging from familiar problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
