Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing medical training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle difficulties varying from standard problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
