Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive healthcare training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat concerns stretching from general problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
