Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care instruction with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally experience.
