Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage issues varying from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet normally experience.
