Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical training with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat concerns ranging from general ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
