Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough health care instruction with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems extending from typical afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
