Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 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 is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired wide-ranging medical training with a stress on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with difficulties stretching from basic afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
