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. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an attention to on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties extending from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
