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 Doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle concerns ranging from normal ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
