Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to address conditions ranging from familiar afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
