Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing health care training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience required to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally managed 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
