Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address conditions stretching from conventional ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
