Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to handle concerns extending from typical afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
