Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial health care training with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat problems ranging from general disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet regularly experience.
