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 spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle difficulties varying from familiar afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
