Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive health care training with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties extending from typical problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
