Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant medical education with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with issues varying from common conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
