Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat complications ranging from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
