Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for issues stretching from normal conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
