Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired significant health care education with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns ranging from simple afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
