Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for concerns ranging from normal ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet normally experience.
