Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with a focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle conditions varying from typical problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically experience.
