Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle issues extending from regular problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet generally experience.
