Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare education with an importance on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to handle complications extending from normal disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

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 receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet commonly experience.
