Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough healthcare education with a stress on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with difficulties stretching from regular conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
