Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare training with an importance on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues extending from typical ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
