Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive health care training with a focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle problems extending from basic ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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 permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
