Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from regular conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently experience.
