Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical education with a stress on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to address issues ranging from normal conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet commonly experience.
