Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems stretching from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet routinely experience.
