Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat conditions ranging from standard problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
