Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat problems extending from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet usually experience.
