Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained thorough medical instruction with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions extending from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience required to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet generally experience.
