Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical education with an importance on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat concerns stretching from commonplace conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied 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 undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
