Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to deal with problems stretching from conventional conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet normally experience.
