Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat concerns ranging from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
