Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical instruction with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to address concerns extending from simple conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience essential to conduct surgical treatment 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 feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
