Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical education with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems ranging from general disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet generally encounter.
