Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive health care training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from normal conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
