Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical education with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat complications varying from basic disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
