Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical training with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet normally encounter.
