Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant healthcare education with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for concerns ranging from familiar conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
