Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained significant medical training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the expertise vital to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet frequently experience.
