Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat issues ranging from basic conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
