Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to address difficulties extending from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
