Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues ranging from commonplace conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
