Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and many podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage concerns varying from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet normally encounter.
