Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with a focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage problems ranging from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet routinely experience.
