Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle concerns extending from standard conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
