Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with complications ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
