Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive health care education with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat concerns stretching from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
