Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant healthcare instruction with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat issues varying from general disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
