Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten 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 acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare instruction with a concentration on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for complications extending from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
