Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle problems ranging from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the skill essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
