Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with a stress on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage complications stretching from conventional problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
