Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging health care education with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications varying from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet generally experience.
