Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle difficulties ranging from simple disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
