Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care education with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for concerns stretching from familiar conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
