Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from standard problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best managed 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 experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
