Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical education with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions ranging from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
