Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists 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 Doctors have acquired considerable medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle issues varying from standard afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet normally experience.
