Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant healthcare training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat complications ranging from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled 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 legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet normally experience.
