Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare education with a focus on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with issues ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
