Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial healthcare instruction with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with problems varying from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet generally experience.
