Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address issues varying from simple problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally 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 withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
