Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical education with a stress on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with conditions extending from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet usually experience.
