Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with problems varying from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute 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 perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
