Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained considerable health care training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat complications stretching from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet normally experience.
