Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable medical training with a main focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for problems varying from basic disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
