Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage complications ranging from familiar problems like 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 considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
