Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable medical education with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with issues varying from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
