Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions stretching from standard problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet regularly experience.
