Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and a number of podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical training with a stress on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address concerns ranging from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
