Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems ranging from usual disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet generally experience.
