Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant health care education with a concentration on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat complications extending from common problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
