Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical training with an importance on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems stretching from standard ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet commonly experience.
