Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical education with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for issues stretching from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
