Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle difficulties extending from familiar disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet routinely experience.
