Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
