Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing health care training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage conditions extending from usual problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
