Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat conditions ranging from typical afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
