Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems ranging from basic problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
