Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate 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 standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties ranging from basic ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
