Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive health care training with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with issues extending from typical conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet usually experience.
