Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare instruction with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to address issues ranging from general afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
