Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing health care instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat conditions extending from general afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet regularly encounter.
