Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle difficulties extending from standard ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet commonly experience.
