Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
