Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat conditions ranging from typical ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet normally experience.
