Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing health care education with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat difficulties extending from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet generally encounter.
