Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing health care instruction with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with concerns ranging from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
