Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough health care training with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for conditions ranging from simple problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
