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. Our podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate 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 general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for concerns stretching from normal conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the expertise needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
