Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for conditions extending from normal conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
