Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage issues stretching from conventional disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet generally experience.
