Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for difficulties stretching from simple problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also 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 abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
