Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage concerns extending from general problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill required to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
