Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive medical training with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage problems ranging from usual disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
