Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle conditions stretching from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
