Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems extending from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
