Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems extending from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
