Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems varying from standard ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet generally experience.
