Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage complications varying from commonplace problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually experience.
