Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage issues ranging from basic problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to execute surgery on those conditions 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 submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
