Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for difficulties extending from usual disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
