Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat conditions varying from basic disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet generally experience.
