Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical instruction with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat problems stretching from commonplace conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet usually encounter.
