Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with concerns extending from commonplace ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet routinely experience.
