Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable healthcare training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage complications stretching from familiar conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet normally experience.
