Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with an attention to on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems varying from standard problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet routinely experience.
