Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing healthcare education with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with conditions ranging from regular conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
