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 put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial healthcare education with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle issues extending from commonplace afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
