Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten 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 obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing medical education with a focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat problems ranging from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
