Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical education with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to address complications varying from common disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which give them the expertise vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
