Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat complications ranging from common disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
