Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to address problems stretching from conventional ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet generally experience.
