Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care training with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions extending from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best 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 legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
