Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care training with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle complications ranging from standard problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
