Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for difficulties varying from basic problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive 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 abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet typically experience.
