Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems extending from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet typically experience.
