Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle concerns varying from usual afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet normally experience.
