Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with a stress on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from normal afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
