Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties ranging from regular disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet commonly experience.
