Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with problems ranging from commonplace disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are best handled 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 endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet normally experience.
