Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant healthcare training with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage conditions ranging from common disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
