Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat conditions ranging from regular disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
