Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial health care education with a focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat concerns ranging from standard disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet generally encounter.
