Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable healthcare training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns varying from general afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
