Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical education with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues ranging from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
