Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical education with a concentration on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet generally experience.
