Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing healthcare training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat issues ranging from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
