Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive health care instruction with a stress on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems varying from familiar problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
