Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat conditions extending from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors 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 perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet typically experience.
