Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant health care training with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for issues ranging from general problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
