Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from usual conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet normally encounter.
