Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable healthcare education with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for concerns extending from common afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
