Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with complications varying from normal disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet regularly experience.
