Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging health care education with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with problems ranging from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
