Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here 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 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant healthcare education with a focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties stretching from common disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
