Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care education with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems stretching from standard conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
