Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat difficulties extending from typical problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
