Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with a main focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat problems stretching from conventional ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
