Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address concerns ranging from standard conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the skill required to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet usually experience.
