Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing health care instruction with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications extending from simple problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet regularly experience.
