Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with complications ranging from general problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet routinely experience.
