Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant healthcare instruction with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with issues ranging from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
