Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable health care education with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to care for problems ranging from simple disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
