Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties stretching from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to execute surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
