Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with issues ranging from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill vital to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
