Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with an importance on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with problems stretching from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
