Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle complications varying from normal disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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 abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
