Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions ranging from standard problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
