Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address concerns stretching from regular conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

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 endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally experience.
