Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a main focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with difficulties extending from familiar afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
