Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing healthcare training with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle difficulties ranging from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet typically experience.
