Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle problems extending from conventional ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically encounter.
