Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive health care training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat difficulties ranging from basic afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
