Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a main focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage conditions varying from normal ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet regularly experience.
