Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions varying from common problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which give them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet usually experience.
