Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems varying from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
