Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with conditions ranging from simple ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
