Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle complications stretching from regular ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
