Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with an importance on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems ranging from familiar problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
