Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to address conditions extending from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
