Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough medical education with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems varying from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet normally experience.
