Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive health care education with a stress on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat problems varying from conventional disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet frequently experience.
