Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical education with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues varying from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
