Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical education with a concentration on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat concerns ranging from basic conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet usually encounter.
