Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare training with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat issues stretching from conventional disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet routinely experience.
