Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for conditions ranging from regular disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
