Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage complications ranging from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
