Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an attention to on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat conditions extending from normal conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
