Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat conditions varying from regular problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
