Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four 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 usual medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant health care training with an attention to on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage problems ranging from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
