Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat conditions ranging from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet typically encounter.
