Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical education with a concentration on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle difficulties ranging from commonplace conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
