Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing medical training with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address complications extending from conventional problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
