Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle difficulties ranging from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the skill vital to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
