Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians 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 Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing medical instruction with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions varying from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
