Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical education with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet commonly experience.
