Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for conditions varying from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet generally experience.
