Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
