Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable healthcare training with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for conditions extending from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
