Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing health care education with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to care for problems stretching from commonplace disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
