Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address problems extending from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
