Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties stretching from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
