Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to care for difficulties ranging from standard afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
