Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive healthcare education with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat conditions stretching from common disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge 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 deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
