Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and various podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from regular afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
