Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant healthcare training with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems stretching from commonplace ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
