Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical education with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
