Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable health care education with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address conditions ranging from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
