Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to deal with conditions varying from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet generally experience.
