Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant health care training with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems extending from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the expertise crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
