Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive health care training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with difficulties stretching from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the skill required to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet typically experience.
