Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing health care education with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle conditions ranging from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
