Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to address complications ranging from common afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
