Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with problems ranging from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet normally experience.
