Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical training with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from regular problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge 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 makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
