Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing healthcare education with a stress on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with problems extending from simple conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
